    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to get the Map demos working, as provided in the Google API sample projects.  I am using AVDs and have tried with versions 8, 10 and 11 and get the same issue.</p> <p>I've generated my own debug key and added to the project.  I can see the map on app start up, and can zoom in etc - so I am getting the map tiles, fine. Yes - I have the correct permissions and  library set in the Manifest file (as per samples).</p> <p>But, I cannot set a location on the map, either via DDMS or Telnet.  I see the following error in LogCat: MapActivity : Couldn't get connection factory client</p> <p>I've read numerous threads regarding this issue, but they always seem to be as a result of a bad API key; which I do not have, as I am retrieving map tiles.</p> <p>So I created my own project to test this further, and am executing the following code on initialisation of my map:</p> <pre><code> myLocationOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView);        mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationOverlay);        myLocationOverlay.enableCompass();        myLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation();        Log.i("funkatron: ", "ABOUT TO CALL RUN ON FIRST FIX");        myLocationOverlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {            public void run() {                String loc = "we have a location, executing AnimateTo(). "+myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation().toString();                Log.i("funkatron:",loc); mapController.animateTo(myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation());            }        }); </code></pre> <p>I see my first log statement, but never the second, and "MapActivity : Couldn't get connection factory client" is written to LogCat at that point.</p> <p>I have read that there were issues with SDK v8 emulators, so I have tried with v10 and 11 - but still no joy. I have NOT yet tried this on an actual device - will do soon.</p> <p>Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated - it's really baffling me  ;)</p> <p>cheers</p>
